Eat a lot of greasy food during the New Year holidays! There are big differences in how to drink fat-burning tea in the morning, afternoon and evening

During the Chinese New Year, many people eat and drink a lot, and they are worried about gaining weight, so they are accustomed to drinking fat-burning tea to remove oil and greasiness and reduce the burden on the stomach and intestines. However, don't drink fat-burning tea randomly. In addition to considering your physical condition, you also need to adjust it according to the different time periods and meal contents of morning, noon, and evening!

During the New Year, people lose control of their appetite and suffer from obesity and indigestion.

During the Chinese New Year, there are temptations of rich fish, meat and all kinds of delicious food. Many people lose control of their appetite. The result of non-stop eating is a burden on the stomach and intestines, resulting in symptoms such as bloating, indigestion, and constipation. In addition, because they sleep more and move less every day, the excess calories are converted into fat and accumulated in the body, leading to obesity. According to the National Health Administration's 105th Spring Festival Weight Control Telephone Survey, 39% of the public gained weight during the Chinese New Year, with an average weight gain of 1.7 kilograms.

Get rid of the Chinese New Year fat! How to drink fat-burning tea?

Luo Yuanjun, a Chinese medicine practitioner at the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Changhua Christian Hospital, said that there are three types of people who are particularly prone to obesity due to overeating: the "constipation group", the "edema group" and the "lazy group". People who suffer from constipation and edema can drink fat-burning tea to prevent obesity, but the formulas of each are slightly different. For those who are lazy, they don’t necessarily have to drink fat-burning tea. They can say “bye bye!” to obesity by exercising more.

1. Constipation group: They usually have trouble with irregular bowel movements. They eat a lot but excrete little. Calories and toxins accumulate in the body, making them prone to gain weight. The key to fat-burning tea for this group of people is not only to remove oil and relieve greasiness, but also to "lubricate the intestines and promote bowel movements". Therefore, Cassia seeds can be added to enhance the bowel-lubrication effect. People who like to eat starch can add malt. Those who are prone to bloating can add tangerine peel to cook together for a better health effect.

2. Edema group: Edema means that the body's ability to metabolize water is poor, and most people have a "lack of spleen" constitution. In severe cases, the weight difference between morning and evening can be 1 kg, which is especially obvious in women before menstruation. This group of people may not necessarily have the trouble of difficulty in defecation, and fat-burning tea needs to focus on "diuresis". They can use red beans, coix seeds or ginger slices with skin, which have diuretic effects, as well as Poria cocos and Codonopsis pilosula, which help promote the functioning of the spleen and stomach, to achieve the effect of strengthening diuresis, removing dampness and eliminating edema.

3. The lazy group: Exercise can stimulate gastrointestinal motility, but people in this group are "too lazy" and usually don't like to exercise. Their gastrointestinal motility is slow, so they suffer from indigestion and obesity. The improvement method does not necessarily require drinking fat-burning tea, usually just exercising more can do the trick.

Improve oil shoveling efficiency! Different fat-burning tea recipes for morning, noon and evening

In addition to choosing the right fat-burning tea based on your physical condition, the fat-burning tea recipes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner should also be different. Chinese medicine practitioner Luo Yuanjun said that many people suffer from edema when they wake up the next day because they ate too much salty food the night before and were unable to metabolize water properly. Therefore, she recommended that breakfast should be light, low in oil and salt, and that fat-burning tea should choose a "diuretic" formula.

Breakfast - "Lishui Tea"

• Preparation: Put 1.5 qian of red beans, 1.5 qian of coix seeds, 2 qian of poria cocos, 2 qian of codonopsis pilosula, 1 to 2 slices of ginger and appropriate amount of water into a pot, bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer for 10 minutes over low heat and let cool.

• Note: This tea can be consumed with or after meals, but it is not suitable for pregnant women or people with high blood pressure or kidney disease who need to limit their water intake.

For lunch and dinner, most people tend to eat greasy food with relatively more fried food and meat. The fat-burning tea recommends using the "intestinal protection" formula instead.

Lunch and dinner - "Intestinal Protection and Fat-Reducing Tea"

• Preparation: Put 2 qian of hawthorn, 2 qian of lotus leaf, 2.5 qian of cassia seed, 1 to 2 black plums, 1 to 2 red dates, 1.5 qian of tangerine peel, 1.5 qian of malt and appropriate amount of water into a pot, boil over high heat, then simmer for 10 minutes on low heat and let cool.

• Description: This tea has an appetizing effect and is suitable for drinking after meals to avoid overeating due to an over-stimulated appetite. Cassia seed has a good effect of moisturizing the intestines. People with soft stools or diarrhea more than three times a day should reduce the dosage; black plum and tangerine peel have the effect of stimulating gastric acid secretion. People with excessive gastric acid should reduce their consumption.

【Health Tips】

To get rid of the New Year fat, fat-burning tea alone is not enough! Chinese medicine practitioner Luo Yuanjun stressed that a balanced diet and daily exercise are also important. In addition, combined with acupoint massage, massaging the abdomen clockwise with the navel as the center can help gastrointestinal motility and defecation, especially after getting up at 6 or 7 in the morning, massaging immediately after drinking a glass of warm water, the effect is more significant; you can also frequently press the "Zusanli" on the outside of the knee, which helps to harmonize the stomach and spleen and aid digestion.
